About this audiobook

Let God help you win the war on worry and receive the lasting peace of Christ so you can experience freedom and joy.

Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night?
Is irrational anxiety your constant companion?

We all experience anxiety, but we don't have to let worry and fear control our lives. In Anxious for Nothing, from New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado, provides you with a roadmap for coping with and healing from anxiety. Complete with Lucado's signature storytelling and relatable anecdotes, this book invites you to study Philippians 4:6-7—the most highlighted passage of the Bible and any book on the planet according to Amazon.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

In Anxious for Nothing, you will experience CALM as Max encourages you to:

  • Celebrate God's goodness
  • Ask God for help
  • Leave your concerns with God
  • Meditate on good things

 

Stop letting anxiety rule the day. Join Max on the journey to true freedom and experience more peace, joy, clarity, physical renewal, and contentment by the power of the Holy Spirit.

    A decent look at the issue and Phil 4:6-8. There are definitely better ones out there but this is still good.

    I think it's my fault for not understanding the synopsis properly.. but I don't like when books just try to explain something with God. Don't get me wrong I believe in God - a higher presence - but i think a book should be for everyone, not just for those religious. I've listened to the first 2 chapters and it felt like it was trying to get me to join a cult.

    This book contains so much truth about the Bible. Anxiety comes but you can certainly choose how to view it. Paul was living a very tough and possibly anxious life but He chose to rejoice. He knew the weight of God's Words compared to how light the difficulty was. He knew that God is in control so he didn't let anxiety take over him. I love this book. Thank you, Jesus.

    Finished this audiobook with grateful tears! How selfish could I have been forgetting of everything God has done for me. Not trusting in Him 100% had placed me in a victim place, scared, and the most exhausted way of living. Can't say how grateful I am to God for the opportunity to read and listen to this book!

    Thanks to my boyfriend Eric for giving me access to read this book and for being an example of a transformed person in Glory's trust!

    Such a refreshing read. If I were to describe this book in 3 sentences they’d be:
    1. Bible scriptures that ring true to anyone with anxiety
    2. Captivating and relatable anecdotes
    3. Lightly humorous

    Certainly plenty of wisdom about the power of prayer, gratitude, facing today with today’s resources, etc to respond to anxiety - and a recognition of the value of counseling and medication - but it still felt a little too “faith will take care of your anxiety!” for my liking.

    As I always struggle with anxiety, I have read a couple of books on managing anxiety, and this book was my favorite so far! I liked how the author integrated the love for God as a relief from anxiety. As a religious person, I liked finding peace and building a connection with God. However, not only this but there are also other methods of dealing with intrusive thoughts unrelated to religion at all(for those of you who are atheists), such as mindfulness techniques, etc. However, I still believe even though you have read the book, if you want to get something valuable from it, you have to practice at least one of the practices they mentioned in this book, and only then can you realize the importance of this book. Also, there are many stories of real people who utilized the practices from this book and saw immediate results afterward, which gives you hope that you too soon can learn to manage your anxiety, and it will get easier! Just a little reminder for those who suffer from anxiety: remember you are not alone; many people struggle the same as you are; just keep going on no matter what, no pain, no gain, right?
    Do you want to regret all the things you could not do because of the anxiety? OF COURSE NO, go for it, even though you are in pain; believe me, you will thank yourself later! At least you will know that you gave your best in this life; for me, it became my purpose to give my best and not regret it in the end! Go for it! I believe in you!

    Another masterpiece by Max Lucado. With divine wisdom and dry humour, max dissect the plague of anxiety, which has been troubling humanity from the beginning of time. Masterfully Max dissect, and prescribes the only cure available.

    I needed this book today. I find myself in circumstances beyond my control or making, and this book has helped ground my anxious thoughts around the true nature and promises of God. We are not alone, we can take captive every thought, we are loved, there are angels watching over us, there is a purpose for our condition. Rejoice in the Lord and in all things give thanks.
